She concluded: “And will we see a darker Jai emerge from all this?”

“It really is on Jai’s toes to resolve this. Ultimately he’s always been fairly ruthless in business and sometimes in love, so he’s due a bit of a run now. He’s been nice for a while.
“We’ve probably bought him back far enough to see he’s a good person and a good dad, but when it comes to business, he’ll do what he has to do to protect his family.”
